The Lakers allegedly held a closed-door scrimmage Saturday, but after taking the day off Sunday, no one could seem to remember much about it by Monday afternoon.

Coach Phil Jackson was especially hazy on the details.

Jackson couldn’t say who looked good. Or bad.

“I can’t remember that far back,” he said, chuckling.

Center Andrew Bynum also didn’t recall much about the proceedings.

Neither did backup guard Shannon Brown.

Finally, power forward Pau Gasol divulged a few morsels of information.

It turned out that Gasol played with Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher on the first team. Gasol couldn’t remember much about who played on the second or the third teams. He did reveal that his team got the better of the others.

After some prodding, Jackson revealed Bynum had a particularly impressive move during the scrimmage, catching the ball near the free-throw line, driving to the basket and scoring over unnamed opponents.

Bynum acknowledged playing center against Gasol, a fellow 7-footer, so that put him on one of the other teams. Bynum also said he played a bit against power forward Josh Powell and “the dude, um, Michael Fey.”

Meanwhile, DJ Mbenga, another 7-foot center, continued to be sidelined by a hip flexor injury and could not participate in the scrimmage. It’s uncertain when he might be sound enough to practice with his teammates again.

Bynum update

Bynum’s four-year, $58 million contract extension kicks in this season, and if he’s feeling any pressure to live up to the expectations that come with such a hefty deal he wasn’t about to reveal it to reporters.

“If anything it relieves the pressure,” he said. “I don’t have to worry about anything, just come here and play. Work hard, play basketball and that’s it. I feel good. I’ve got my timing back. I’m catching lobs again. I’ve got my legs back under me.”

Bynum suffered knee injuries in each of the past two seasons and must wear a brace on his right knee for the rest of his career. He injured his right knee when Bryant tumbled into him during a game Jan. 31 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

“I have to stick with my brace for the rest of my career,” he said. “It’s a must. That’s what the doctor said. The ligament is healed, but it’s still loose.”

Bynum decided against wearing a brace on his left knee, which he injured Jan. 13, 2008, against the Grizzlies. He said he tried wearing a second brace for a while during the offseason, but found it was causing more trouble than it was worth.

Big man, big goal

Bynum said last season he set a goal of playing in the All-Star Game. He said he might have made it, too, if not for the knee injury.

He said at the start of training camp his goal was to play in the All-Star Game this season. He said it again Monday.

“My biggest goal this season is to be part of the All-Star team,” Bynum said. “That’s my big, personal goal. My team goal is to play (strong) defense and help us win another championship.”
